Can’t remember which player but there was a girlfriend issue with one of them around that time - seems like she was messing around with another person in the program (player, staff or coach) and the player left after the season.

This from AL.com LINK

quote:

UA freshman Pickett intends to transfer
Alabama basketball point guard Rico Pickett has told the Crimson Tide coaches he is considering transferring, according to a source who has spoken to Pickett.

The sophomore from Decatur, who started 20 games and averaged 5.9 points, does not yet have a planned destination. Pickett has not yet had an in-depth meeting with the coaches about his plans.
Neither Pickett, nor Gottfried, returned calls seeking comment.

This comes on the heels of a Sunday night announcement that Pickett was suspended "indefinitely" from basketball-related activities. It was Pickett's second such punishment. The source said Pickett has not shown up consistently for meetings, academic-related appointments and other responsibilities.

Also this morning, Pickett's father sounded off to his hometown paper

The Decatur Daily.
He said this:
"He told them that he wanted to leave," the elder Rico Pickett told The Decatur Daily. "They told him they weren't going to release him. This is their way of fighting back, saying that he is suspended for academic reasons. He has the same grades that he has had since he has been at Alabama."

Don’t know who he is but he’s getting a tour from Bryce Young and watching the basketball team practice

I liked Rico Pickett. I thought he showed potential. I also Liked Ricky Tarrant when he transferred in.

Was in Tuscaloosa's Dicks Sporting Goods.
They were showing a replay of our most recent game against LSU.
Why?

My official NCAA tournament prediction for Alabama (not that anybody cares):

I think it's about 80% likely we'll be bounced the first weekend.

However, if we're not, I think we'll have about a 50/50 shot at making the Final Four.

Reasoning: As I've said several times, the team doesn't respect the game or playing to a pre-set standard. They play exactly as hard as they think their opponent deserves.

IF they survive the first weekend, they'll be excited and focused the remainder of the way, and THAT Alabama team can beat anybody in the country.

But I think it's much more likely they get beat by a lower seed early in the tournament.

Not familiar with Wale's music either but he is playing in Huntsville tonight at Mars Music Hall. Assuming he had to pass through T-town to get here.

Hopefully they're sanctioned as hard as Russia.

I mean I haven't really listened to his music since college but I don't think Wale is that bad.

Would y’all take a Final 4 if it meant Barn gets there again?

Bellarmine wins the ASun tournament so JSU goes to the tournament as regular season champs.

3 teams from this state in the dance, maybe UAB can make it 4
